House Republicans from New York, California and New Jersey unhappy with a cap on state and local tax deductions cast talks on the issue with Donald Trump as “positive” but described no firm commitments from the president-elect.
“He really communicated that he feels for how unaffordable the taxes are for our constituents,” Representative Nick LaLota of New York, who attended the gathering of about 16 House Republicans with Trump at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, said in an interview late Saturday. Trump “is willing to engage in a solution.”
